crossover- it crosses over the frequencies to send the appropriate range to each speaker, in a two way usually there is a coil, and inductor that only allows say 150-500hz to go to the midbass driver, and a capacitor to only allow 2000+ hz to go to the tweeter. u usually use a single power input to the crossover, this signal should be full range. if your bi amping this is just putting a second signal input to the specified speaker, possible if you want to lower your highs by putting less wattage to them.

am i wrong? i've only done 2 sets before.

The search button is all you need on here. I rarely ask questions on this site.

2 ways can go as low as they can play, but thats normally only down to 60-80hz. You want to play them as low as possible though.

Somewhere they won't get wet, preferably as close to the speaker as possible.

so i just finished hooking everything up, these speakers are loud!! if i turned up the volume, i'm pretty sure i'd go deaf before they start to distort.

What do i adjust the amp settings too? i have there are no indications of where they should be set at. so i just turned all the nobs 1/4 up.

do my speakers require any break-in time?

how do i know how much rms watts? i am sending to the speakers

side note, anyone know if compont speakers are worse on your ear drums than subs? cause the mids and the tweets can be ear peircing.
